Warren Gatland, head coach of the Welsh rugby team, emphasized that his upcoming squad selection for the Autumn Nations Series will focus on the long-term development of Welsh rugby rather than his own job security. With the team facing a challenging season after a series of defeats, including a winless Six Nations, Gatland is keen on integrating younger players while welcoming back experienced internationals like Gareth Anscombe and Tomos Williams. He acknowledged the need for a sustainable team strategy leading up to the 2027 World Cup, despite the immediate pressure for results. Gatland expressed excitement about the squad's potential and the talent emerging from regional rugby, indicating a commitment to developing promising players. The first test against Fiji is set for November 10, and Gatland's decisions will be guided by what is best for the future of Welsh rugby, not short-term fixes. The coach is due to announce his squad on Monday, reinforcing his focus on building a competitive and deep team.
